These guys fetched over 50 million! We have got some expensive wages to pay, but it certainly isn't all from the parachute payments as Hill suggested. He made some valid points, but sounded childish in bemoaning his low budget. What would he say if he had a warchest and had gone home with all three points?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583845623869468857.post-13459364306347446712012-09-19T21:15:59.317+00:002012-09-19T21:15:59.317+00:00As a Blackburn fan, we might be able to afford bet...As a Blackburn fan, we might be able to afford better players but we have one huge drawback - our odious, incompetent manager. We might be top of the league but it is despite him rather than because of him.

Rovers were awful - it was genuinely one of the worst performances I've seen in 20 years of going to Ewood. <br /><br />The difference was that we had that little bit of quality when it was needed. Rhodes was fantastic but that's what you get for £8m. <br /><br />With a little more composure in front of goal you'd have given us the thumping we deserved. <br /><br />Gomes is hardly ugly though!

"on...Wow.... what can I say, delusional much?<br /><br />"only fell short when Blackburn brought on three fresh signings"<br /><br />Does that include Jason Lowe, our youth team graduate? Or possibly Nunez who has had a total of 5 minuites game time at ewood at his tender age of 18.<br /><br />Fact of the matter was, Barnsley were one of the worst teams i've ever seen grace the pitch at Ewood Park. The fact that Rovers were so poor just highlighted the fact that if we were playing any sort of decent team, Rovers would have lost about 6-0 on Tuesday.<br /><br />Rovers give the ball away infront of goal and the Barnsley striker shoots closer to the corner flag in a 1 on 1 situation, pure comedy.<br /><br />You forget yourselves, you played BRFC (as in premier leauge for 95% of its existence, as in ex-champions, as in Alan Shearer's old club) YES. But you were playing a side managed by the odious Steve Kean, even the local under 5's could proove a tactical nightmare for him, as you mentioned, Barnsley bossed the midfield, not because of the quality of player but because of the lack of quality on the sideline giving the orders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583845623869468857.post-91738581856287797162012-09-19T14:19:57.513+00:002012-09-19T14:19:57.513+00:00The only thing I will object to as a Rovers fan is...The only thing I will object to as a Rovers fan is calling Gomes ugly.
